From Jazz masters of past and present to emerging new artists performing modern jazz and fusion. No smooth jazz here!

This podcast celebrates tenor sax great Prez, Pork Pie Hat, Lester Young. This year is the Centenial of the Prez' birth. Lester Young was one of the influential jazz artists of the 1940's and 50's. He played with Count Basie and Billy Holiday and many others. His mellow full tone on tenor is featured on this podcast. Pork Pie Hat is also the name of a jazz series of live concerts going on now in the Hartford area. We feature some of the artists performing in that series on this show.
